Eversince I am dignosed with Diabetes, I withdraw myself from my friends for 1-2 years. I felt that they will look at me at a different way. I even felt that the whole world will look at me at a different way. I was very demoralised.....
Slowly, I began to realize that Diabetes is going to be part of me for the rest of my life. From denial and withdrawal, I moved on to acceptance. Accepting that diabetes will be with me for the rest of my life. I start to let some of my closer friends and colleagues know that I have a condition. Not because I wanted to announce to the world but I need their understanding and also to look out for me when I have hypos.....They will know what to do and not let me pass out.
Somehow, more people know that I am diabetic. Some of my friends told me that its common now and they do not feel I am any different from other people. Nothing to be shy away just because I am diabetic. At the back of my mind, I still have this impression that people will look at me at a different way because I am different from them. I am type 1 and I need to live with needles.
Though I will appear in a diabetes related magazine soon but I still feel I will be ostracized by "normal" people. [Devil is working now to tell me that i will be ostracized, even when Angel is trying to tell me that I am normal]
